DALLAS THEATER CENTER to PRESENT BELOVED DALLAS TRADITION A CHRISTMAS CAROL this HOLIDAY SEASON
Tickets to the holiday classic start at $40
DALLAS, Texas – November 9, 2026 - Dallas Theater Center (DTC) will present Kevin Moriarty’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol, directed by Alex Organ, at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre (2400 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201) November 27-December 27, 2026. The show stars Bob Hess as Ebenezer Scrooge, Liz Mikel as Mrs. Fezziwig, Christina Austin Lopez as Lucy/Belle, Molly Searcy as Marley, and Francisco Grifaldo as Bob Cratchit. A Christmas Carol has been a cornerstone of the Dallas holiday season since DTC first produced the show in 1969.
DTC will once again partner with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) in its mission to close the hunger gap in North Texas. The almost 20-year partnership has raised $966,736 through the annual food and fund drive at performances. By continuing its partnership with NTFB, DTC honors its long commitment to bringing families together for the holidays while driving positive change across the Dallas community. More than 15,000 children and adults will experience A Christmas Carol at DTC this holiday season.
"Dickens's timeless story reminds us of the power of generosity and our responsibility to care for one another,” says DTC Executive Director Kevin Moriarty. “Since 2007, DTC audiences have helped provide more than 2.8 million nutritious meals to our neighbors facing hunger through this partnership. We are grateful to our audiences for making this partnership such a meaningful holiday tradition. Dallas Theater Center is honored to support the essential work of the North Texas Food Bank.”
“I'm delighted to bring Brierley Resident Acting Company Member Bob Hess back to the stage as Ebenezer Scrooge,” says Jaime Castañeda, Enloe/Rose Artistic Director at DTC. The classic Charles Dickens holiday tale follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he embarks on a transformative journey through Christmases past, present, and future. With its inspiring songs, dazzling visuals, and uplifting messages, A Christmas Carol captures the season's true spirit and reminds us all of the importance of compassion and generosity.
Patrons can contribute to the cause by donating canned goods at designated drop-off locations in the Wyly Theatre lobby. Cast members will also collect monetary donations after each performance, with 100% of the funds raised benefiting the North Texas Food Bank’s efforts to provide nutritious meals to those in need. Thanks to a generous matching gift from HungerMitao (an affinity group of NTFB) Co-Founders Anna and Raj Asava, all donations made to NTFB during A Christmas Carol will be matched up to $10,000, meaning every $1 patrons give will help provide six meals.
The runtime of this show is 90 minutes with no intermission. Enjoy photos with Santa in the lobby on November 27th and Christmas carolers on December 3rd. Tickets start at $40. Advance ticket sales are encouraged, as the production sells out every year. For more information about this show and the NTFB partnership, visit dallastheatercenter.org/shows/
